Location: Valle del Sol, Spain
An exceptionally rare opportunity in Valle del Sol (Guadalmina Alta), this wonderful villa has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a plot of over 6,000m2!
We are delighted to offer this exceptionally rare opportunity located in the Valle del Sol area of Guadalmina Alta (San Pedro de Alcántara).
This property is superbly located for local amenities, schools, proximity to the beach, connections to the A7 etc. but it is one of the few remaining "country houses" still retaining all of its character and charm and set within a plot of over 6,000m2!
The unassuming, gated entrance leads to a pretty courtyard with a fountain and fish pond. The front door opens onto a wonderful hallway with vaulted brick ceilings and then directly down marble steps to the main living room. This room has all the "wow" factor you could wish for, with its impressive open fireplace and huge glass doors and windows drawing you out to the spectacular gardens beyond. A fabulous covered terrace is a perfect place to enjoy a drink whilst looking over the pool, palm trees and orchard.
Next to the main living room, there is a useful (2nd) kitchen leading to a courtyard with built in BBQ covered in climbing grapevines.
Also on this level, there is the master bedroom. This double-aspect room has a pretty Juliette balcony and a further balcony with access to the garden. The ensuite bathroom is enormous, fully tiled and ready to install a new bathroom suite. There is a dressing area leading to a laundry room with access to an enclosed terrace.
Returning to the entrance hall, there is a useful guest w.c., two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom that share a pretty sitting room with an open fireplace. These rooms are the original part of the villa and feature beautiful beamed ceilings.
The fully fitted kitchen has an adjoining larder that could easily be incorporated to make a larger kitchen.
The lower level of this villa provides a guest apartment with a large bedroom/sitting room and ensuite shower room.
The double garage has internal access to the villa.
Despite the outstanding charm of this villa, its main attribute is the stunning gardens. They include areas of lawn, a secluded pool area, an orchard, and enough space for a tennis court or small football pitch. Surrounded by numerous trees including impressive palms, the garden is very private and enclosed.
Sadly, the current owners who had lovingly cared for this special home for many years rented it out and returned to find it badly neglected and totally uncared for. It is now just crying out for someone to return it to its former, impressive glory.
A note of interest: This was formerly the home of Audrey Hepburn and we can clearly see why such a stylish icon was drawn to this enchanting place.
